iPhone 11 Pro Max vs LG V50: What exactly IS a “Pro” phone?

Battle of the “pro” phones!

We can get a stunning amount of work done from our phones these days. I truly believe that phones are powerful enough to replace laptops for a LOT of consumers out there. However, when a company slaps a “pro” label on a phone, that should set our expectations a bit higher. Apple always makes bold performance claims, and has been one of the most visible companies to showcase mobile video production and content creation.

How does the iPhone 11 Pro stack up against a premium Android? It’s time for a showdown!

Christmas on the Sony A7iii: A full frame miracle!

Test driving the Sony A7iii!

I’m so used to shooting on phones, it was refreshing to take a Sony mirror-less out for a spin. Our holiday memories this year are looking REALLY good. After a couple weeks, I’ve got some thoughts to share on this monster camera body, which completely deserves all the praise it’s been receiving.

Is it good enough to convince me to switch? Let’s take a look!

Pixelbook GO review: I love it for reasons Google might not like…

There are a TON of great options when shopping PCs and Laptops. Differentiating features are really nuanced. The Pixelbook Go is a fun take on a mid-ranger laptop with solid hardware specs. It’s the software that will make or break the consumer experience.

Who is the Pixelbook Go for? That was a trickier question to answer than I thought it would be… Continue reading “Pixelbook GO review: I love it for reasons Google might not like…”

IKKO ITM05 Music Patch: Bring GREAT Audio to the iPhone!

Apple’s audio is just “good”, especially for iPhone owners who also have nice headphones. Ikko thinks they can improve the situation with the Music Patch. Louder amp, higher quality, and more convenient to use than a dongle!

Those are big claims. I took one for a spin! Here are my thoughts!

LG G8X Review: Two Screens ARE Better Than One!

I like this phone a lot.

LG has done an amazing job of straddling their usual premium phone strategy, while also competing in a space closer to OnePlus for pricing.

Unique features, great performance, excellent battery. There aren’t many weaknesses here. Let’s dig in! LG G8X REVIEW IS GO! Continue reading “LG G8X Review: Two Screens ARE Better Than One!”

Sony Xperia 5 Review: 2019’s Best Sleeper Smartphone?

Sony has been refining and polishing the Xperia line up! The Xperia 5 now represents one of the best performing Sony phones I’ve ever used, at a more competitive price than previous “premium” Xperia handsets.

Great cameras, very good battery life, and a fantastic screen!
It’s just a shame that no one will know about it… Continue reading “Sony Xperia 5 Review: 2019’s Best Sleeper Smartphone?”

Pixel 4XL Review: Where we accept it’s a REALLY good phone!

At some point we need to acknowledge that the Pixel 4 is a good phone. A REALLY good phone. The healthy debate isn’t “winner or loser”. Instead, the tricky question for Pixel fans:

How large is the audience for THIS phone, who won’t be satisfied by a Pixel 3A?

Can we make it a rule? That we don’t take Pixel reviews seriously until we see the fabric case is messed up? I mean, like someone actually used the phone enough to get a LITTLE life on it… Continue reading “Pixel 4XL Review: Where we accept it’s a REALLY good phone!”
